Thank you, very well said...
Oh, but there is a number three. For one thing, start at least pretending my vote is worth defending. End Rat fraud! Two, give me someone and something to vote FOR. Lesser of two weevils is still a weevil.
Yep, Open Primaries purposely defeat the idea of “The Loyal Opposition”. They allow one Party to manipulate, make that destroy their Opposition in the Primary Election.
How Open Primaries can pass Constitutional muster is beyond my comprehension, but I was a Banker, not a Lawyer.
my comments on the list.
Obamacare, pubs won’t repeal it
retreats from Iraq and Afghanistan, pubs don’t care
the loss of the world’s confidence in America’s strength and resolve, pubs don’t care
the elevation of “wise Latina” Sonya Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, look at bush’s picks
the elevation Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, bush’s picks again
Fast and Furious, pubs yawn
Solyndra, pubs are all for crony capitalism never heard them complain they have theirs obama has his
obsession with global warming, most pubs don’t object who’s going to defund the EPA?
unrestricted illegal immigration, pubs are all for it
a politicized and corrupt Justice Department, long time corrupt
a politicized and corrupt IRS, long time corrupt
mismanagement of the fight against Islamic jihadism, pubbies won’t really go there
“red lines” that get erased almost as soon as they are drawn, pubbies yawn
attempts to gut the First Amendment to reverse Citizens United, one guy complained
John Kerry as secretary of state, pubies put goldman sachs all over our money
Eric Holder as attorney general, pubies put goldman sachs all over our money
Benghazi, well that’s one
billions of dollars wasted on “stimulus,” pubies put goldman sachs all over our money
Michelle Obama starving innocent schoolchildren with unpalatable food, well that’s two
negotiating with terrorist-supporting Iran over nuclear weapons, maybe three
pressuring Israel not to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons that, in time, certainly would be capable of reaching the U.S. Ron Paul maybe Rand as well.
Lesser of two evils is just that, the lesser of two evils.
Don’t pretend there’s no difference. Romney would have by far been the better choice, might have even saved the country. But we have Obama who has destroyed America and is in the process of finishing us off.
We have Harry Reid, evil beyond compare who has helped Obama destroy America. They have blatantly, in-our-face, screw-you done us in.
There’s a difference, a greater evil that is Obama, Reid, and Democrats.
Sorry Kenny, my Post (reprinted below) was meant as a response to the Thread Topic. I mistakenly Posted back to your #12 Comment.
Whether we agree or not, you are entitle to your Opinion. I disagree with the Premise.
>>>Hey, don’t upset the Keep Harry Reid in Power Fan Club Members. It’s good to keep Obama’s right hand man running the Senate. Didn’t you get the memo?
They’re busy blaming Romney for everything Obama is doing.
Here’s a newsflash. Republican Voters made Romney the Nominee, not some super secret Bush Family Cabal. People Voted and the other Candidates that many of us supported LOST, end of story.
That’s Politics. You convince the Electorate that your guy is the one or he goes home when the Votes are counted, period.
I backed Newt, but I failed to get enough people to support him, just as many here supported other Republican Candidates in the Primary but failed to help them win.
Who needs their Party in Power when we can accomplish so much more by complaining on an Internet Forum. The exercise in futility continues.<<<
Jane, you ignorant misguided slut!
Real question is how has the two party system survived constitutionally. It is a scam by elitist that has trapped us for centuries. Oh and I have finally come to an epiphany that Jefferson was wrong. He was just another hypocritical rich blueblood like romney. All men are not created equal. It is plain to see and the fact conservatives have bought into that foolish lie so long is the reason they have failed. The time has come for a true revolution. One in ideaology that is aggressive in word and deed that can overturn that two party system.
I see if the RINOs take the Senate and keep the house, they’re pusscakes anyway. They had control under Bush and look what they did. Actually, if the RINOs DO take the Senate, all the $hiite from Obamacare will hit the fan and the MSM will fault them anyway. IMO
Actually romney would have destroyed us quicker. He would have pushed on russia and got us into a hot war with nuke possibilities. He would have also installed mormon bishops and guards in federal buildings like the white house. Essentially giving us over to luciferian worship. End the satan was the winner regardless.
Par for the course I guess.
They can’t even see the Constitution anymore they’ve strayed so far from it
1) GOP, good and bad lumped together
2) Democrats, Harry Reid, and two more years of Obama to help him
That’s it, there is no #3.
Go home Karl, you're drunk.
Good luck Mr. Schwimmer. If the pubbies fought as hard against the dims as you chastise us for not supporting the folks that insulted us, lied about us, used dim voters to get your folks elected when you couldn’t win the battle of ideas, and demiened us in every fashion imaginable, they might have a very good chance of really cleaning house. But they don’t fight. I have heard nothing but gibberish from congressional races in those states you insisted your GOPe candidates would win. Hell, you can’t even take North Carolina. Now you tell us we must support you. The very people YA all kicked out and didn’t want around must come to your rescue. Ya should have thought about that before YA threw us out of your party.
Concur.
Well, I hate to tell you this, but it really doesn’t matter what you think, because he is going to win.
These are the type of people that ALWAYS want things their way and they take their ball home and pout, even if they are the only ones in the room that believe the way they do. God help their spouses, children and others around them since they tend to boss, intimidate and manipulate. I know it can be dangerous to generalize, but I have known purists and they can be hellish.
Then there are those who will gladly vote for a lying, cheating, thieving scumbag - as long as he is THEIR lying, cheating, thieving scumbag.
THEN they whine and cry about the OTHER guys’ lying, cheating, thieving scumbag.
There’s a word for that...hip....hypa....hippa....awe, heck - it’s a bad thing to be.
You want my vote? My support? THEN DON’T CHEAT AND LIE TO PUT YOUR THIEVING SCUMBAG ON THE TICKET!!!
Please tell me the difference between Thad Cochran and Harry Reid? “He’s a republican” is not a convincing answer.
You’re right about one thing - it doesn’t matter - the gop is almost dead. This election cycle we are hearing the death rattle of the republican party.
The gop has decided to crap on the heads of the only passionate segment of their constituency...and they add insult to injury by telling us we need to vote for their corrupt incumbents, who have done nothing except feather their own nests, or Harry Reid will remain in power feathering his own nest!
The republicans have driven us from the party, we are not taking our ball and going home. So we will stand on the sidelines - where the idiot gop leaders have sent us - and watch the stupid party burn....and we will smile; because a true conservative party can be built out of those ashes. As long as that rotten, stinking, festering pus-bag of a party hangs around, it inhibits the rise of conservatism (will pretending to be conservative).
I have no loyalty to the disgusting gop - they, with their greed for power, and their stupidity, have helped push America to the brink, and are poised to push her over.
Oh, Harry Reid is not evil beyond compare...I can name someone he hasn’t outdistanced....Thad Cochran.
And the gop wants my vote to defeat Harry Reid!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Riiiiight, you morons! It is brilliance like this that will destroy the gop....hopefully sooner rather than later.
Cheating and law-breaking to put a corrupt politician back in office....that’s just politics too, right?
Maybe your politics - but not mine. Save your breath - you will never convince a true conservative to support the gop after what they did to get Cochran back on the ballot.
That is NOT the party that represents me, not in any way, shape or form. I want to destroy the republican party, not help this cancer on American politics...oh sure, dems are also a cancer, but I won’t support one cancer just because it’s not the OTHER cancer.
Regarding the “lesser of two evils” argument: The gop has done nothing to convince me that their evil is lesser in any way.
